New Armor?
Well.. we have LOTS of DU (depleted Uranium) and we are willing to spread it around just anywhere. As we did in '92. Iraq wishes.. it had the U which depleted the natural-U. Makes a great armor-piercing round. Hey! it is really *Heavy* at At. Wt. 238! AND: U is pyrophoric; in powder form (or when two sharp pieces are struck together) it 'sparks'. Flares like Magnesium (though not Quite.. so energetically does it crave Oxygen to combine with). Imagine what happened inside those tanks we hit with our DU rounds. But after all, they weren't human - they were enemy (that week).

Kinda surprised we haven't already sold them some DU.. our largest export to the world is, after all: weapons. Wonder what that says?

military school prepared me for the prevailing mindset of homo-sap.. especially the local variety.

New What it says . . .

What it says is that we have highly effective marketing (the "demos" are to die for).

It also says there's a lot of demand.
